Kate Moss sent the rumour mill into overdrive when she made an appearance in the region alongside world famous photographer Tim Walker for prestigious Love Magazine

Supermodel Kate Moss swapped the catwalk for the countryside with a high-fashion shoot in Northumberland.

The 40-year-old sent the rumour mill into overdrive when she made an appearance in the region alongside world famous photographer Tim Walker for prestigious Love Magazine.

The pair are believed to have been staying at a stately home near Alnwick and the final pictures from the shoot will be in the biannual magazine’s July/August edition.

Renowned stylist and Love’s editor-in-chief Katie Grand kept fashion fans guessing with a series of messages posted on social media from various parts of the North East.

These included a message of how the team were having a ‘sleepy Saturday’ at Ellingham Hall and had arrived at Darlington railway station.

She also wrote on Twitter of the weekend’s escapades how Kate Moss had said ‘I could have fun in a Little Chef’.

No doubt fashion’s finest arriving at the Little Chef branch off the A19 would have enthralled customers if they had made a pit stop.

Spokespeople for both Ellingham Hall, ten miles north of Alnwick, and at and Eglingham Hall, seven miles north west of Alnwick and a regular location for fashion shoots, both denied that the celebrity party had been staying with them, however Love Magazine staff said it had been Ellingham Hall as mentioned by Katie Grand.

A spokeswoman for the magazine said: “I can confirm that Kate Moss was staying for a Love shoot with Tim Walker and Love editor in chief Katie Grand.”

Photographer Tim Walker has shot model Kate Moss many times over her career including many pieces for the magazine Vogue.

Her last shoot in the region with him was at Eglingham Hall in December where she posed with owls from owls from Andy Howey’s Birds of Prey Centre at Haggerston from near Berwick-upon-Tweed.
